Hi all,
After many years I have gotten my hands back on my old 1991 K100RS. I last saw her in 2008 and she is still in brilliant condition. I am looking forward to getting to know her again.
Coincidentally, I have also gotten my hands on a 1985 K100Rs which is rather cosmetically and mechanically challenged. It is all there, but has spent the last couple of years under a carport. Given the extremes we get in weather in Canberra (-5 to 35 C) the restoration will keep me off the streets for a while.
The one thing that I did notice about the bike was the wafer thin rear disk... I wonder what else lies in wait for me under the thick patina of dust and grime !
